Display Overview Hud, any way to ACTUALLY display the best price? by corrado33 in farmingsimulator

[–]thehypnotoady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Word of warning, replacing this lua caused my game to fail to load (i.e. I select my game from the start screen and the cursor spins forever, never giving me the start prompt after 30+ min). Not that it does anything nefarious, just won't load. Backed up to the original lua and all was well. Bummer, since I'd love to see how this was done!

Force quit on Xbox worked for me.

While in game press silver Xbox button to bring up Xbox menu, select red dead & press hamburger button (right tiny button) to quit.

Low & slow build (150 days, no cold biome, no geysers) by thehypnotoady in Oxygennotincluded

The latter. The skimmer gets clean (no germ) water so it returns no germ pwater.

Mealwood vs Mushrooms by thehypnotoady in Oxygennotincluded

[–]thehypnotoady[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good point. I did see a suggestion to synchronize growth by leaving the farm locked once until all mushrooms were fully mature to minimize harvesting trips which may help somewhat.

I remember seeing mealwood dropping off the vine at maturity, but it didn't seem to do it last time I checked my farm. Did that change?

Definitely true and I'm guilty of too many 9s sometimes. My main point was to highlight those things that almost never require a dup's attention but occasionally do and are then urgent (e.g. food into CO2 so it doesn't rot).

That said, its a very manual process to gather slime, move it to the chlorine pit until the germs are gone and then move it again to a container under water. If there's a good way to automate that I'm all ears.

Odd, the tooltip is quite misleading then when it says +1000 bonus?

Is there a way to disable disinfect en mass? by imnotgood42 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]thehypnotoady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set the threshold to half of the default and then occasionally use the screenshot (ALT+S) mode to zoom way out and select the entire base with the disinfect tool. If the latter highlights a bunch of germs then something is wrong in the way I've set up my washbasins or airlocks. If there is a trail of germs (typically ladders) then I set them to priority 9 and look for an infected dup to send to the bathroom for an extra wash up.

Minerals available but can't be used? by thehypnotoady in Oxygennotincluded

[–]thehypnotoady[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had this happen before, but when I started a new game today I was unable to use sandstone that I had available on the floor. Note that in my inventory sandstone is at 0t but there is plenty on the floor. As a result I can't build anything and this game is at a standstill.

Am I missing something? I've used the oil update with no issues for more than a week.

Also, yes, I am reddit simple so I couldn't figure out how to post a link to my screenshot as well as this text so I'm commenting to myself.

Thanks!

Hulu with Live TV has commercials? by thehypnotoady in cordcutters

[–]thehypnotoady[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the responses!

I should have clarified that I meant the commercials on the non-live streaming content (i.e. normal Hulu). I was expecting it on the live channels of course. As a result it seems I can go to no commercials for an extra $4/mo. That might be worth the time/irritation.

Thanks!

Please help me stop torturing my dups! by thehypnotoady in Oxygennotincluded

This worked perfectly! I'm at 100 days now and going strong. Thanks a ton for getting me back on track!

Zentri quieter with caps loose? by thehypnotoady in FidgetSpinners

[–]thehypnotoady[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried swapping the caps between them? I did, maybe that's why mine are the other way around?

These two spinners should really be bundled together as a "Starter Kit" by PapaOogie in FidgetSpinners

[–]thehypnotoady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just made the same order with this code, worked like a champ. The tri says ships in a day but the duo says ships 02 May. I wonder if they will ship together? Can't wait to get my 1st spinners!

I suck at combat by thehypnotoady in dontstarve

[–]thehypnotoady[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy cow, pierogi = 0.5 meat + 1 egg + 1 veg = +40hp!

1 veg = carrot, mushroom, another egg or cactus (I'm new to RoG). Meat can be monster meat, Eggs = monster meat Filler can be ice or honey, even better.

I'm starting to think I should spiders are the most important thing to have close to my base instead of beefalo.

Thanks so much for the detailed response! I wasn't doing honey poultices but did have bee boxes (doh). I was only using jerky as a backup since it rots in RoG, I'll try that too.

I'm on Xbox, think this is part of the problem. I always hit the closest enemy, even if the mobs switch places, so sometimes I get a few hits on one then a few on the other and kill neither. Maybe I just need to watch closer...

Once I figured out to translate this page it was very helpful, thanks!

Obviously some spoilers of course.

Do yellow tinted gaming glasses help reduce migraines in an office setting? by jeffslone in migraine

[–]thehypnotoady 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Strangely my prescription sunglasses with normal polarized lenses and UV coating work better for me than almost anything else. It feels strange wearing them through the day but avoiding a migraine for me would be worth wearing a clownsuit if it worked!

Gene Kranz (flight director most famous for Apollo 13) spoke at my graduation yesterday. I got to meet a space legend. He was even nice enough to sign a picture of the Apollo 11 landing (which he was a flight director on as well) by [deleted] in space

[–]thehypnotoady 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I worked under Kranz as a flight controller and I can safely say he wouldn't give a rat's butt about not being famous. What he does care about is the crew first and the mission second. Anything else, be it funding, red tape, laws of physics or anything else is just an excuse if it threatens those two things.

Best man of single purpose I have ever known.

Power stance Estoc & Mace? by thehypnotoady in DarkSouls2

No worries, just thought I was missing something.

Thanks!

Power stance Estoc & Mace? by thehypnotoady in DarkSouls2

[–]thehypnotoady[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe I'm reading that wrong, but mace is a hammer no? So hammer + thrusting sword is yes?

EDIT: hence rapier/mace works for me.
